01992 763660We all want to play with the sun on our backs; golf is so much more relaxing in warmer climes! This blog is written to help you maximise your chances of good weather, whatever time of year you travel.
With such a varied selection of areas and resorts across Europe, we can offer you golf holidays with good weather throughout the year. Perfect weather for golfing usually means little chance of rain, temperatures in the mid 20’s and clear skies. Generally, that means travelling further afield the later in the year you get. However, our guide to golf in Europe helps you find those perfect conditions throughout the year.
So, when is the best time to go on a golf break abroad? Let us take you through each month and advise which is the best destinations in Europe for a golf holiday each month.
November:
Murcia, in southeast Spain, may be one of the smallest regions in Spain. It has now, however, one of the best climates for playing golf in November, and in particular, some of the best value-for-money packages can now be found at The Residences Mar Menor. These four-star apartments sit on the Mar Menor course, one of the six Nicklaus Trail courses available to guests. All six courses are championship with the exceptional Alhama Signature included too. Great value holidays in Spain, great golf with sunshine to boot.
December
Sun, Sea, Sand and general warmth are called for therefore we can highly recommend the Canaries and in particular Tenerife. Our first choice here would be the four-star Vincci Tenerife Golf Hotel sitting overlooking the ocean and the Golf Del Sur course. This modern hotel is great value for money and is just a ten-minute drive away from Reina Sofia (Tenerife South Airport).

January
Golf Trips to Almeria
The sun always shines in Almeria, with the best climate in Europe. How can we not recommend in travelling to the Almeria Region with the best climate in mainland Spain in January for golf?
The hotel that we can highly recommend is the Valle del Este Hotel, situated in the north in the town of Vera – adjacent to the Almanzora Desert, where so many of the “Spaghetti Westerns” were shot.
The hotel sits overlooking its own 18-hole championship course with unusual disc-shaped Tee – boxes.

February
The Canary Islands can always guarantee you sunshine in the winter months, and with a slight breeze cooling the air, we always prefer to travel to Fuerteventura in February.
This windy island in Europe is perfect for golf, and the main hotels are just a 10-minute drive away from the airport. The Elba Sara Beach Resort is our preferred choice here, with both courses.
Fuerteventura and Salinas are just a 5-minute taxi ride away. The hotel is a beachfront property with all rooms having sea views, the prices here are very competitive, and golf courses are both championships.
